This beautiful pain
G - D - C - G - D - C (2x)
G D C
1. Day was young, desire was
stirred,
G D C
summer
was all but gone,
G D C
light was fading from the side of your
face,
G D C - G
sinking
low in the corn.
Em C
All that’s constant
and wise I still see in your eyes,
G Bm D
it
was always this way from the start,
Em Bm
right
here where I stand, on the last of the land,
Am - C G
but
you’re still breaking the heart.

2. Now all I have is rushing
right through my hands,
G D C
sailing
over the seas,
G
D C
down that tide
where fresh and salt combine,
G D C
- G
all victories are
released.
Em C
We who wrestle the years have traded
our fears
G Bm D
for a
glimpse of ecstasy in the dark,
Em Bm
turning ice in the fire, but still we’re denied,
Am - C G
but
you’re still breaking the heart.

Em C
+ The skies turned red without failure,
G D
Em
they
held their promise and dread till the last,
Am Em
you put all of my youth in my future,
G D - C - Em - D
you
put the future back into my pa....st.
G D C
3. So shine a light and shine
it brightly now,
G
D C
you
know it all takes its course,
G
D C
and
all the many ways I’ve tried so hard
G
D C - G
to
reach this potent source.
Em C
On the day behind time, across the divide,
G Bm D
along
the cord came all light out of dark,
Em Bm
now I stand
amazed in this beautiful pain,
Am - C G - C
but you’re
still breaking the heart.
G -
C
G - C
You’re breaking the heart, you’re
breaking the heart,
G - C G

You’re breaking the
heart, you’re breaking the heart ..
